Skyways Air Transportation aims to double its workforce in 2026 to enhance aircraft production, focusing on fully autonomous drones. The company has secured significant defense contracts, including a $37 million deal with the Air Force for its V3 production, which will have enhanced capabilities.

The drones are currently used primarily in defense settings, reducing operational costs significantly compared to traditional methods. Skyways is also exploring commercial applications and plans to relocate its flight test facility closer to Austin.
